So I have decided on a new angle - posts once a week and a monthly favourites! It just works better around my schedule and is just a bit easier than once a day. Anyway!
I am doing my first favourites post for August. I tried a lot of new products in August that I fell in love with. I will also include a food favourite and a music favourite!
So... yeah!
I am in love with this. Seriously.
First of all, I love the packaging. Chic, non?
Secondly, I love the brush! It has a unique (to my knowledge) timer shape, which fits to the lash line and coats every single lash, and really adds volume and length.
The formula is really good too - it isn't waterproof, but I have found that it stays on all day, depending on whether or not I have PE. *cringes*
I think a full review will probably be coming, but for now, my favourite mascara for August!
It is the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette, and it is unbelievable.
I had money burning a hole in my pocket, and this fit the bill quite nicely!
The packaging is gorgeous, very sleek and handy, in a small plastic case with a fairly large mirror on the inner lid.
It consists of 6 shades of eye shadow, 5 matte and 1 satin.
They are neutrals, and beautiful. The satin is a white highlight called Venus that gives a beautiful highlight. The other colours consist of a cream yellow called Foxy, a
You can pretty much start a lot of looks with this palette, but also makes a very subtle, natural eye look in several different ways.
I have used this every single day since I bought it, and, being Urban Decay shadows, the pigmentation of these are awesome, and they last pretty much 8 hours without a primer! And also, both the dark brown and black make excellent eyeliners.
If you want a good quality, versatile, everyday neutral palette, I highly recommend this... but the price is quite high, at £20 per palette.
The next item is a rediscovery for me, and it is the Rimmel Match Perfection concealer.
This is a 2-in-1 conceal and highlight product, and it is really, really brilliant for concealing under eye circles.
I also use this to cover redness on my jawline and cheeks, and it gives a beautiful glowing effect on the skin.
I love it, however, do NOT use it on your blemishes. Ever. Seriously.
My next item is something you may have read my previous review on, but I got the others in the collection.
It is the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Cherry Me, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss.
I have been using these like crazy, especially Cherry Me!
They all are very moisturising and give a lovely hint of colour.
I'm not going to ramble on about these, so read that review if you're interested!
The final beauty related item(s?) are these foundation sponges from Superdrug.
It is £1.70 for a pack of 20 and they are very good quality!
They apply foundation and concealer evenly and flawlessly, and can be re-used. Bargain alert!!!
On to my random favourites!
*sings*
I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this song!
I have always been a huge fan of Miley and I am obsessed with this song!
She has obviously been causing a lot of controversy lately, and I don't necessarily agree with some of the things she does, but she is one of my favourite artists, so... *shrugs*
This song is so-o-o catchy and just makes you want to dance!
I'm not too sure of the style of music yet, but we'll see!
But anyway, hopefully her next single, and her upcoming album, will be just as awesome!Love it!!
Finally, my food favourite is.... *drum roll please*
MILKA OREO!
Oh my good gumdrops, yum....
I really shouldn't eat it, but I do.
It's so good, just... buy it.
Heaven in a wrapper.
Oh my goodness, now I crave it *slaps self on wrist*
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned and follow for more!
